I am the mother of 2 very energetic and handsome boys ages 6 and 12. They are true opposites and I love them for it. I have been married to the love of my life for 12 years and I look forward to many more! He is my rock and I am so grateful for him.

Yes it's true I watch General Hospital and have been watching "GH" for about 30 years...yep I was not even born when I began my love affair...OK I was 9 and I was a "latch-key kid". I would run home after school just in time to catch the last 30 minutes of it. I would have KILLED to see the whole episode when Luke and Laura got married, or when she came back from the dead! Them were some good times. I watched it all through college, I watched it on and off for many years, by on and off I mean not every day but at least 3 times a week. I have been watching it way more in the past year, LOVED the whole Franco story line! I have to say it was the best they have ever had. I do not watch any other daytime soap, I never really have...always true to my GH!

So when I found out I was going to be an Ambassador I was SO THRILLED ! I jumped up and down and my husband just rolled his eyes and laughed at me, as if! So for the next few weeks I will be spreading the word on how AWESOME General Hospital is and maybe just maybe get a few people to watch it!

There is a contest going on but hurry you have until the February 28th to enter and that is just a few days away! What kind of contest you ask? One lucky winner will be randomly selected to receive a trip to Los Angeles to visit the set of General Hospital and have a walk-on role. HOW FUN WOULD THAT BE???? Click here to enter!

I am a participant in a Mom Central campaign for ABC Daytime and will receive a tote bag or other General Hospital branded items to facilitate my review

A few weeks ago I was sent 2 bottles of Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce to review, I was not sure what to expect or what I was going to use it with. When I opened the bottle to taste a little I was pleasantly surprised, it was quite tasty. It has a distinctive taste that I can not describe but it would be a perfect replacement for your everyday steak sauce.

How did County Bob's All Purpose Sauce come to be? Well, in 1968 Country Bob perfected the sauce of his dreams and after years of giving the sauce to friends and family as gifts he began to sell it in 1977. The reaction was overwhelming , almost everyone who tries Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce becomes a lifelong user, I know I am! They make several other products aside from the All Purpose Sauce like Spicy All Purpose Sauce, Seasoning Salt, BBQ Sauce, gift boxes and apparel. Country Bob's also has a plastics division where you can order plastic bottles for your own sauces or you can have have Country Bob make your sauce.

After some consideration I decided to make to make Country Bob's Meatloaf, EVERYONE in my house ate it and LOVED it, even my picky boys liked it and requested that I make it again.

Country Bob's Meatloaf

1 1/2 lbs lean hamburger

1/4 cup chopped onions

12 crushed saltine crackers

2 eggs, beaten

1 T Country Bob's Seasoning Salt

1/4 tsp pepper

3/4 cup Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce (or may substitute Spicy)

1/4 cup milk

Mix all ingredients together, place in baking dish, shape in loaf, pour a little more Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce on top and bake at 350 degrees for one hour.

So my conclusion is that I LOVE this stuff, will seek it out and I am going to try their other items as well, can you see me running down the street in a Country Bob's T-shirt? OK I will not be purchasing any apparel but it would make a GREAT gift for the die hard fan. I do look forward to trying their BBQ sauce, it HAS to be good!

Thanks to the very nice folks at Country Bob's I have 2 bottles of Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce to give to ONE LUCKY READER!

Here are the rules...PLEASE read carefully. THIS MUST BE DONE or all other entries will be deleted. Pay a visit to Country Bob's web site and come back here and in your comment tell me what product you would like to try and what you would use it for!
